Yeah I should mention they need a refurb and will probably go black simply because I don't think I can be bothered cleaning them every other day because of the dust the Ferodos put out.

Would look better in a dark colour. Red cars need dark wheels!

I attended Fast Show today at Santa Pod and it seemed to get a few looks. I am going to be doing the wheels black again though. Just from driving from my house where they were spankingly clean to Pod they were black and filthy, I can't live with that 
Couple of pics from today by xa0s...
Next to my girlfriends mini
and rolling shot

Apparently not but I know I saw a red MPS with white wheels and black badges go down the strip?

Cheers lads!
I didn't run yesterday, couldn't be bothered spending all day sitting in a queue like I usually do! I did hear the other MPS going down the strip though so at least I know what mine sounds like now He let the side down and got a 16.1 though apparently, 2 seconds slower than me :S

Loads of updates but forgot to post them in here so I'm just copying and pasting from another forum....
_____________________________________
Not much to update here. Saw a guide on Mazda 3 forums about retro fitting cruise control, so I bought the switches & brake switch from Mazdas for the pricey sum of £196 and fitted it yesterday.
It's the greatest thing ever My fuel usage has improved vastly on motorway miles and it's just so much easier when driving through average speed cameras! I recommend it and it's not hard to do, scary taking the air bag off....especially when your girlfriend shouts bang as you plug it back in :censored: :censored: :censored:
Just put new rear brakes on as the other ones were f***ed. Off to Nurburgring again on Friday so just keeping everything in check and getting things ready. Only going with me and my girlfriend this time, so I'm nervous as last time I was just following people who knew where they were going! Can't wait though, hopefully the place we're staying in is nice and we get decent weather.
_____________________________________
My CP-e Gauge Pod arrived.
_____________________________________
I haven't bought gauges yet, gonna get some Pro Sport Gauges. Oil Temp/Boost & either AFR or Oil Pressure, can't decide? Oil Pressure is no big deal really but AFR might be quite handy...
Got back from Nurburgring on Monday. Another epic trip, epic weather aswell Few pics..
Wheels are in a bad way...
Official shots
Improved my lap time for 9:33 to 8:55 which I'm very pleased with. Can easily go faster too as had a few hold ups as you can see in the video...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3F9bssF7OAQ
I recommend the trip to anyone

Had a little blast on track at the BHP show in Lydden on Bank Holiday Monday! So got some more track pics
Stiff suspension much?
Oh & the car obviously got noticed cause I won a prize!
As you can see, I got a bit burnt in the face!
Awesome day, oh and as usual here's a video to go with it:

_____________________________________
Got my ProSport gauges through within 2 days :-)
Oil Temp, Pressure & Boost (PSI)
Just ordered the thread adaptors and braided line to get the oil parts working so can't wait to get them wired in! I'll try and do a guide if possible so people don't have to ask as many questions as I did to Staccato
_____________________________________
Some goodies arrived:
Put the gauge pod together
The bit I've been excited about getting
_____________________________________
Swapped all the bits over to the gauge pod and put it in place today, not wired in yet though as didn't have time
I can't wait to have it wired in now!

Day view (headlights off)
Night view (headlights on), OEM look :-)

New tyres, going to have these put onto my standard wheels and kept as trackday tyres, apart from my next Ring trip where I haven't got space to carry another set of wheels so I'll be driving on them

Some money been spent there  Nice one, looks great. That gauge pod looks so much better than a pillar ones imo.
Id be tempted to refurb the wheels black though, couldnt handle cleaning them every 5 mins lol
